Itinerary

  2. See the gorgeous skyline of Portland, Maine's largest city which was established in 1786. Observe Portland's working waterfront as fishing boats depart and return to the wharves that form the heart of Portland and are home to local businesses that have been passed down for generations.
  3. Notice the massive granite blocks that form the iconic military fort, Fort Gorges, which was built from 1858 to 1864. These striking stone blocks that are now interwoven with nature are quite beautiful to witness.
  4. Pass by this 30' breakwater light house built in 1855 by Thomas Ustick Walter. She is small but mighty, and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
